It is difficult to always be able to know what you're getting even after a
resume, interview, etcetera. We did rely on recomendations from other
offices but we were lucky that the medical community was pretty tight and
most would provide reliable recommendations. It's so hard to see who will be
a good match with other employees and in the job itself. Perhaps Food
Network didn't even bother to look at the resume, they just filed it away
and went just going on the buzz in the Celebrity Cooking community. Why read
the resume when Emeril gives him a good nod?
